Geothermal Energy System

The geothermal energy system under construction on campus includes 645 wells, reducing energy use by 50% and cutting carbon dioxide emissions by 25,000 tons annually. Water usage will decrease by 8,000,000 gallons per year. The current construction involves deep wells drilled to date and upcoming trenching activities for loop piping.
